An Huaishou is An Yuan'er's older brother, but even with this kinship, An Huaishou sees jealousy and madness in Yi Chenli, along with a terrifying possessiveness towards Yuan'er.
That person never hid his feelings for his sister.
Yuan'er is still just a child; An Hui didn't dare to think about what would happen in the future.
The word “possession” is used in a very strong sense, usually referring to a man’s possession of a woman, not between children.
“Brother, the Sixth Prince treats Yuan’er very well. It’s not what you think.”
An Hui chuckled softly. His younger sister was innocent and naive, and naturally didn't understand men. He and the Sixth Prince were the same age, both ten. In the palace, a ten-year-old prince was no longer a child; he should know what he wanted.
"My brother thinks it's the cold-hearted and aloof person who's willing to be so kind to my sister that's the most unsettling thing."
An Yuan'er always felt that her brother was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute him.
“You’ve been staying at home for a year now. If you don’t want to continue being a study companion to the Sixth Prince, ask your grandfather for help in a few days and go back to school,” the older brother suggested.
"How can this be? Yuan'er is the Sixth Prince's study companion, and this is the Emperor's decree."
An Yuan'er's first reaction was reluctance; she had said she would stay with him forever.
“What kind of study companion stays at home all the time? You probably don’t know, with the Sixth Prince’s current talent, he doesn’t need a little girl like you to be his study companion. He’s probably the one who should be your teacher.”
Actually, her brother was wrong. Not only now, but even before, it was always Yi Chenli who taught her; it's just that others didn't know it.
"Actually, it was Father who came to ask me to persuade you today. Our Yuan'er is intelligent; your brother knows many things, and you understand them in your heart as well. Yuan'er will make the best choice for yourself, won't you?"
An Yuan'er couldn't answer immediately. If she had an answer, she wouldn't have waited a year without making a decision.
"Three days later, your brother will come back to ask you for an answer. Think about it carefully."
Her brother was gone. Only then did An Yuan'er realize that she had always thought her struggles and anxieties were just her own little secret, but it turned out that her family, who cared about her the most, had already noticed it all along.
Her brother and father protected her in their own way.

It was late at night, and An Yuan'er couldn't sleep.
This may be the first time she hasn't been able to sleep since her rebirth.
She got out of bed, pushed open the door, and went out.
"Miss, why are you up?"
An Yuan'er shook her head: "Guoguo, I can't sleep, I'm going out for a walk."
"Then this servant will accompany you, Miss."
"I can go by myself, Guoguo, you should rest."
By the light of the lanterns, An Yuan'er pushed open the gate of the An residence.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw the person outside.
An Yuan'er rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. Why would Yi Chenli be at her doorstep in the middle of the night?
After pinching her leg and feeling the pain, An Yuan'er finally believed that she wasn't sleepwalking in a dream.
After a year apart, when we met again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
The young man before her was still incredibly handsome. The dim light of the lantern shone on his profile, highlighting his sharply defined features. In his deep, dark pupils, there was only her reflection.
An Yuan'er walked over in a daze, only remembering saying, "Why are you blocking my way in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
In response to An Yuan'er's fierce tone, Yi Chenli said aggrievedly, "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. I don't know how I ended up here."
